Boies Schiller Flexner LLP regularly defends corporations and senior executives across a broad variety of sectors in both civil and criminal antitrust litigations. The firm has a particularly strong foothold in the aviation industry and has recently represented Delta Air Lines and its executives in several matters, including a significant class action concerning price fixing in relation to fares. Healthcare is another area of expertise for the group, which regularly represents healthcare providers in competitor-on-competitor antitrust cases. The practice is jointly overseen by Philip Korologos, in New York, and James Denvir, in Washington DC. Korologos takes point on antitrust cases in the aviation sector, while Denvir leverages his agency experience from the DOJ to advise on bet-the-company lawsuits across a diverse range of industries.
